The Best Place in Melbourne to watch the Melbourne Cup

Melbourne Cup at The Grand

The Party That Stops the Nation!

Melbourne’s best Cup Day party is back!

The Grand Birdcage is the most exciting and stylish place outside of Flemington Racecourse to enjoy the festivities of The Melbourne Cup. Don't worry about getting your heels stuck in the grass or getting caught in the rain, join the party at The Grand instead!

The Gates officially open at 11am, and to kick things off in style you will be greeted with a complimentary cocktail to enjoy on the Red Carpet! The Grand’s “Fashions Off the Field Parade” will be back with prizes for the best dressed, all day sweeps, and of course everyone can watch THE RACE on our big screens.

With DJ's getting the party started in the Courtyard and continuing late into the evening, you can really give your dancing feet a workout with the official Birdcage After Party.

Come and join us with our celebration of fashion, food and most importantly, FUN!
